A win. That is the good news but against 14 men, at home with a ref who went to school in Wales to have to rely on a **** kick at the end gives me no comfort.

Positives
LRZ is quick, took his try well and was busy.
Our props didn't get pinged once at scrum time
Navidi is back
Scramble defence was ok

Negatives
Our forwards coach is crap
Lineout ****
Our maul was poor
Midfield defence is not very good
Tompkins is average
Amos isn’t even average
I am not sure I can see any structure in attack, we seem happy to throw it about but there's no plan

Still, it was a win

Line out was very poor considering they're not really contested the amount of we lost with our own put in was remarkable
 
Some Welsh players seem to lack common sense............... I could hardly believe my eyes when a Welsh player was in possession of the ball with only 15 seconds to go on the clock. Kicked the ball away and presented the Irish with a chance to break away and win the game.................15 bloody seconds to hold on to the ball and win the game.................give him some detention and learn the art of common sense
The fact that they did not give the bloody knee pleased me , and left me in a good mood.
 
4 starters are out of next Saturday’s match:

1) Amos with failed HIA (he’d have been dropped anyway as Liam Williams’ suspension is finished)
2) Johnny Williams with failed HIA
3) Tomas Williams with hamstring
4) Lydiate with damaged cruciate

Navidi will replace Lyds
Liam will replace Amos

Would you / should Pivac recall the Doc to play Centre and Webb to play 9?
 
That had to be one of the most piss poor displays I've ever seen from Wales. When "you're all cvnts" got red carded so early on, I was rubbing my hands with delight and looking forward to a bonus point win <laugh>

Then Ireland proceeded to boss the match and score all the points <doh> Fair play to them, they were good but how ****e were we? Ireland deserved to win that game. I dread to think how many they would have won by with a full side for 80.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Pivac is totally out of his depth. I cannot see any way we'll beat Scotland without some miracle of a turn around in tactics and coaching - and that's not going to happen.

Agreed 100%. The scored would have been embarrassing if they had 15 men on the pitch, they battered us with 14. Expect us to lose next week.
